MTC Tift and Turner GED Students Benefit from Irwin EMC Roundup
 |
Irwin Electric Membership Cooperative Foundation awarded GED fee scholarships to ten Moultrie Technical College Adult Education students who reside in Tift and Turner counties. The students took the GED examination in February and will be ready to enter college Spring Quarter or pursue other career interests. The award is funded through Irwin EMC’s Operation Roundup program where members round their electric bills up to the next highest dollar, and the change is placed into the foundation for distribution to worthwhile charitable and educational opportunities in the communities served by Irwin EMC. Turner County and parts of Tift County are served by Irwin EMC.
